With the cold dry weather coming around you may notice your babies skin becoming more dry and sensitive. Eczema flare ups are quite common in babies and can cause them discomfort. Oatmeal baths are a natural and affordable way to sooth your babies itchy dry skin and ease inflammation.

Oatmeal baths are also great to soothe a diaper rash, baby acne and other skin ailments!

I blended 2 cups of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of Epson salts and a few drops of lavender oil ❤️

During my postpartum recovery I had to relearn a lot of things as I recovered from my birth experience. I’m big on protecting my emotional well being but with raging hormones and body trauma, it wasn’t always easy. So I’ve put together some postpartum care tips to help others enhance their emotional health during their postpartum period ❤️

Childbirth is a major life event and it’s important that during the postpartum period, we’re not only taking care of our physical health but also our mental and emotional health. Protecting your emotional well being is important in our day to day life, but it’s essential during postpartum.

𝐻𝑒𝓁𝓁𝑜 𝒮𝑒𝓅𝓉𝑒𝓂𝒷𝑒𝓇 🌻 As some of you know, I gave birth on July 27th to the most beautiful baby boy. This was a surrogacy journey for me! It was an absolutely incredible experience and something I will forever hold dear to my heart. I’ve spent the last couple months taking it easy while being heavily pregnant and now recovering from a traumatic birth. As a postpartum doula, I am excited to share some things I’ve learned all over again as I experience my 4th postpartum journey! ❤️

Know you are seen and loved 🤍 Be gentle with yourself today!
